Comfortable casual shoes
 
Which shoe stores around here (no online please) have everyday walkers. Not golf shoes, not sports shoes, not hiking boots. Simple everyday shoes. Leather or fabric uppers OK. Cushiony without being a dedicated sports shoe.

Prefer buying from a store so we can try on without shipping back and forth.

If you need a narrow width, it is almost impossible to find a store that has them in stock.

One place that has comfortable shoes is SAS in Brownwood. Although, they are expensive and ugly.

I buy Rockport Prowalkers Model 7100 from Amazon and they are very easy to return, if necessary. They may have them at Macy's in Ocala. I have probably worn out 10 pairs or so in the past 20 years. Very comfortable shoes.

I love my Sketchers.

Sketchers has about 1400 styles of mens and womens shoes, but only 2 come in a narrow width. Go figure.

Crocs and Sketchers (including golf shoes) are the only footwear I own/wear at our Village’s home. The Sketchers outlet mentioned in post #2 typically has a good selection.

I have found that the arch fit sneakers are the most comfortable for me. As you can see there will be lots of replies for comfortable shoes. My suggestion will be to go to one or more department stores with shoe departments and start trying these on. Good luck with your quest.

Every single pair of shoes I have, and most of what my husband has, comes from Skechers.

Take a ride to Dillards in Ocala. Very nice variety of men’s and women’s shoes that you won’t find in stores here. Ecco brand are great and very comfortable.
